Psalm 62
Revised Geneva Translation

62 Yet my soul keeps silence to God. From Him comes my salvation.

2 He alone is my strength and my salvation, my defense. I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You shall all be slain. You shall be as a bowed wall, as a wall shaken.

4 Yet, they consult to cast him down from his high position. Their delight is in lies. They bless with their mouths but curse with their hearts. Selah.

5 My soul, keep silent to God only (for my hope is from Him).

6 He alone is my strength and my salvation, my defense. I shall not be moved.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory, the rock of my strength. In God is my trust.

8 Trust in Him always, you people. Pour out your hearts before Him, God our Hope. Selah.

9 Surely, men of low degree are a vapor, and the chief men liars. To lay them upon a scale, they are altogether lighter than a breath.

10 Do not trust in oppression or in robbery. Do not be vain. If riches increase, do not set your heart thereon.

11 God has spoken once, twice I have heard it, that power belongs to God;

12 and to You, O LORD, mercy. For You reward everyone according to his work. A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah

Psalm 62
New International Version

Psalm 62[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1 Truly my soul finds rest(A) in God;(B)
    my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock(C) and my salvation;(D)
    he is my fortress,(E) I will never be shaken.(F)

3 How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(G) this tottering fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.[b](H)

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(I)
    my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.(J)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;(K)
    pour out your hearts to him,(L)
    for God is our refuge.

9 Surely the lowborn(M) are but a breath,(N)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,(O) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion(P)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;(Q)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.(R)

11 One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,(S)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;(T)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”(U)
